LEAVING?

Ethan came out of the bathroom and stroll into the room.

His body were dripping wet and a towel was wrapped around his waist line while he dried his hair with the other towel.

He focused on the mirror while drying his hair that was tattered all over his head.

He ruff his hair backward using the towel before dabbing his face with the towel.


“Leaving already?”

Reel asked, slightly opening his eyes as he sat up on the bed.

“Yes, I need to see her today before I leave”

Ethan respond as he dried his body with the towel.

“Leave?”

Reel asked, forcing his eyes to wide open.

“Yes, I’m leaving for México, remember?”, Ethan remark, strolling towards the wardrobe.

“Are you fucking kidding me?”, Reel inquired. “What about lina, are you just gonna leave her with your brother?? His gonna kill her you know”, He reminded.

Ethan didn’t respond but instead flip the clothes in the wardrobe and brought out a blue shirt and a black jean.

“Don’t you love her?”. Reel asked, seeing how silence he was.

“We shouldn’t talk about this, it’s my life”, Ethan said, strolling into the change room and locking the door from behind.

He rest his back at the door and heaved a sigh.

He was confused and frustrated at the same time.

First he was confused with what is going on between Angelina and Conner, secondly he feels frustrated about what happened last night, he couldn’t help but think what his brother, Conner would do to her.

He wipe the thought off his head as he focused on putting on his outfit.

He ruff his hair backward till it was stiff to the back.

Knock knock

The whack at the door distracted him and he turned to face the door.

“Davina is here to see you Ethan”

Reel voice whisper yelled from the room.

“Dammit”

Ethan cursed before opening the door.

Ethan came out and saw Davina sitting on his bed.

Her legs were crossed and revealing her thigh below and her lap. Her arm were spread wide as her hands were on the bed.

She was putting on a strap top that revealed her cleavage and a short tight skirt that could barely cover her thigh.

Reel was no were to be found around the room and he cursed him under his breath for letting her in.

“What are you doing here Davina?”

Ethan asked, rolling his eyes in frustration.

Davina smirk, she half a smile and stood up from the bed.

“Do you know Conner is married?”

She asked and he just scoffed, knowing fully well while she’s here.

“Conner is no good for you”

“Not to mention, he has the property now”

Davina said as she folded her hand below her breast.

“It will be best if you leave Davina”
Ethan said.

Davina took a step closer to him and the whacking sound of her heels echoed round the room.

“Have you forgotten about our deal?”

She asked.

“What deal?”, Ethan asked, acting as if he has forgotten.

“Take the properties from your mother and leave California?”

Davina inquired.

“What happened now Ethan?”, She asked, gazing into his sparkling eyes while he gaze back at her. “Conner has the property now, he rejected the marriage offer from my father, disrespected him and dump me as if I’m nothing”, She half yelled angrily.

“I warned you Davina, my brother isn’t good for you”

Ethan said.

“And what about the property?”, Davina asked.

Ethan ignored her as he walk pass her, strolling towards the door.

Davina turned to face him as she watch him leave without taking her eyes off him.

“Don’t tell me you have other fucking plans for yourself!!”, She yelled angrily pointing her fingers at him.

Ethan opened the door departed.

Davina yelled out in anger, clenching her fist as she tries to control herself.

“Take care of Davina and make sure she leaves my house, I’m leaving already”

Ethan said to Reel who was sitting on the coach playing video games.

“And Conner?”, Reel asked, not sparing him a glance as he focused on his phone.

“He must be at work by this time”, Ethan respond, strolling out of the house.

He walk to his black car and entered before starting the engine. He slammed the door lock and zoomed off.


*********

Angelina stood up from the ground and wiped the her face clean. She sniff in before walking to the wardrobe.

She opened it but couldn’t find any clothe inside but only a single red dalman sleeve.

She grabbed it and put it on.

The dress was big on her and perfectly covered her body.

She brushed her hair backward, using her palm before strolling out of the room, heading downstairs.

She reached for the telephone on the table and dialed Mariah's number before calling it.

She placed it on her ear as it rang for a few seconds before it respond.

“Hello, please who is this?”, Mariah asked and hearing her voice made Angelina cried.

It’s been a long time and she haven’t heard from Mariah, neither her father. She have saved Mariah contact off heart, so she would call whenever she misses her. She never knew she would could ever be away from home for this long time.

She knew she’s never leaving here.

Tears stream down from her eyes down and she quickly wipe it away, using her palm.

The sniffing sound made Mariah recognize it was Angelina.

“Lin...is that you darling?”, She asked calmly.

Angelina inhaled deeply before she respond, “Yes”.

“Oh my gosh Lin, are you okay? I missed you so much baby? Where are you?”

Mariah became anxious and asked.

Angelina felt so delighted deep inside, at least feeling this motherly love healed the pains inside her heart.

“Lin talk to me please, you know I missed you so much
…i…”

Mariah voice faded as it sounded as if she was crying.

“I'm fine Mariah”, Angelina said, holding the tears in her eyes from dropping down on her cheek.

“You are not okay Angelina, you are obviously crying, please tell me what's wrong darling”

Mariah pleaded.

“I'm trapped Mariah, my life here is a living hell”, Angelina cried out while she speak.

“What…what…what happened Angelina?”, Mariah asked sadly.

“I can’t say Mariah”, She respond. “Please tell me, how is dad?”, Angelina asked, trying to ignore her question and it worked.

She doesn’t wants to tell Mariah about everything that has happened to her in the past few days, it will make her feel worried and have a sleepless night all because of her.

“Honestly Lina, I don’t know”
Mariah respond briefly.

“What…what…what…why?”

Angelina asked, finding the right words to say.

“Because lina, it’s actually all my fault…”

“Don’t say that”, Angelina cuts in before she could even finish her statement.

“Lina your father…”

Mariah tried to speak but Angelina quickly dropped the telephone as she was interrupted by the sound of a footstep approaching.
